Is My Prescription Medication Use Becoming a Problem?

Look at changes in how you take medication without shame or blame.

This is a self-reflection, not a validated screening test. It has no diagnostic score and cannot decide which treatment you need.

Start the check-in

Before you begin

Think about recent medication use. Check any concern that fits. You can leave items blank or stop at any time. More checked boxes do not equal a diagnosis or a higher level of care.

No name, email, or phone number is needed. This check-in does not send your choices to admissions or save them in browser storage. General website analytics may still operate. Use a private device when possible. Printing may leave a copy on your device or printer. You choose whether to contact Alpine.

Need urgent help? If someone is in immediate danger, cannot be woken, has trouble breathing, has a seizure, or may have overdosed, call 911. For suicidal thoughts or emotional crisis in the U.S., call 988. Do not wait for an online result or an admissions call. These tools are not monitored.

Your check-in

Select the items you want help with. Then choose “Show my next steps.” If you prefer, read the guidance below without making any selections.

You can still read each item and the next steps below. Interactive results need JavaScript.

What your answers can help you discuss

Physical dependence can happen with prescribed use. It is not, by itself, proof of addiction.

I take more than the label or my prescriber says.

Tell your prescriber the actual dose and timing. Do not hide extra doses.

I run out early or worry about getting more.

Ask your prescriber for a medication review and a safe plan.

I use someone else’s medicine or pills from another source.

Tell a medical professional what you took. Pills from outside a licensed pharmacy may contain unexpected substances.

I use medicine mainly to change how I feel.

Ask about both the symptom you are treating and your medication use.

I mix medicine with alcohol or other substances.

Ask a pharmacist or prescriber about interactions. Trouble breathing or severe sleepiness needs emergency help.

I feel unwell when I miss or lower a dose.

Do not change or suddenly stop medication on your own. Ask your prescriber about a safe plan.

Choose one small step

Bring your full medication list, actual doses, and any alcohol or drug use to a prescriber or pharmacist.

Words you can use: “I have noticed a change. I would like help understanding it and making a safe plan.”

Common questions

What if I did not check anything?

That does not rule out a concern. You may still ask a qualified professional about anything that worries you.

Who sees my choices?

This check-in does not submit your choices to Alpine. It does not alert a clinician. If you want help, contact a provider yourself.

Can this tell me whether I need residential care?

No. A care provider needs to consider your health, safety, daily life, support, and preferences before recommending treatment.
